We are thrilled to invite you to experience the beginning of something truly special—our new church plant, where tradition meets evangelistic zeal, and biblical faithfulness is the foundation for everything we do. This is more than just another church; it is a fresh and vibrant expression of the timeless truths of Scripture, anchored in the rich heritage of the Reformed faith, and committed to the life-changing power of the gospel.

Our new congregation may be small in size right now, but we are big in vision, passion, and purpose. We believe that the church is not just a building or a weekly gathering, but the living body of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit to reach the world with His truth and love. Whether you’re seeking a new church home, exploring faith for the first time, or simply curious about what we’re doing, we warmly welcome you to join us and see what God is doing in and through this new work.

Faithful to the Bible

At the heart of our church is an unwavering commitment to the Word of God. We believe that Scripture is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible revelation of God’s will and truth. Everything we do—our worship, our teaching, our outreach—is grounded in the Bible. When you visit, you can expect to hear God’s Word proclaimed with clarity and authority. We practice expositional preaching, meaning that our sermons walk through books or passages of the Bible, verse by verse, allowing God’s Word to set the agenda for our lives and our church.

The Bible is not just a collection of ancient texts, but the living and active voice of God that speaks to every aspect of life. We are here to listen to what God has to say to us through His Word and apply it faithfully in every area, from family life and work to community and service. We believe that the gospel is powerful enough to transform not only individual hearts but entire communities.

Reformed and Rooted in Tradition

Our church stands in the historic tradition of Reformed theology, which means we hold firmly to the truths recovered during the Protestant Reformation. We embrace the doctrines of grace that affirm God’s sovereignty in all things, including salvation. Here, you’ll find teaching that highlights God’s majesty and holiness, human sinfulness and need for grace, and the glorious work of Jesus Christ in redeeming His people through His death and resurrection.

While we are rooted in tradition, we are not stuck in the past. Our goal is to bring the rich theological heritage of the Reformation to life in a way that is vibrant and relevant to today’s world. We believe that these truths are not only timeless but essential for a deep and authentic Christian life.

Evangelistic and Outward-Focused

We are passionate about reaching out with the gospel message. As a church plant, we feel the unique burden and privilege of evangelism. We are in a new place, building a new community, and we believe God has called us here not just for ourselves, but for the lost and hurting people around us. Our church is committed to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with boldness, compassion, and urgency.

Evangelism isn’t just a program for us; it’s a way of life. We are intentional about equipping our members to live out their faith daily and to engage in meaningful conversations about Christ with their neighbors, co-workers, and friends. Our services and gatherings are designed to be places where both believers and seekers can encounter the truth of the gospel and be challenged by it.

A Place for You

We know that visiting a new church can sometimes be intimidating, but we want you to know that you will be welcomed with open arms. Our desire is to build a church family where people from all walks of life can come together, grow in their faith, and serve the Lord with joy. Whether you are familiar with Reformed theology or it’s new to you, whether you’ve been a Christian for years or are just beginning to ask questions, you will find a community ready to walk alongside you.

As we begin this exciting new chapter, we invite you to be part of it. Our prayer is that God will use this new church to bring glory to His name, to build up His people, and to shine the light of Christ in our community. Come and visit us—experience the joy, the reverence, the depth, and the excitement of a church that is reformed, faithful to the Bible, evangelistic, and passionate about seeing lives transformed by the power of the gospel.

We look forward to meeting you and growing together in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ!
